Newcastle’s star player is being pursued by Real Madrid for an exorbitant fee in a potentially detrimental agreement.

It has been suggested that Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali is being pursued by Real Madrid in a potentially damaging transaction, with a colossal fee being proposed. Real Madrid may soon provide

Tonali with a “surprising new destination” in the next phase of his career, according to Italian source Milan Live. Madrid is seeking a replacement for the retired Toni Kroos, despite the fact that they have a number of exceptional midfield options, including Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga. Despite the fact that the two players operate in slightly different midfield positions, Madrid is known to be admirers of Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz. Currently, Newcastle’s Tonali is also in their sights. The report characterizes Tonali’s transition from AC Milan to Newcastle in the summer of 2023 as a “important stage” in his development. Nevertheless, it is stated that the Italy international will find it “difficult to refuse” Madrid if they initiate contact with him, as they are considered one of the most illustrious and elite teams in the world. Incredibly, Milan Live indicate that Newcastle will consider selling Tonali if Madrid makes an offer of approximately €50 million (£41.5m / $54.2m).

Nevertheless, it is difficult to envision a transaction occurring at that price, as Newcastle spent £55m (€66.1m / $71.8m) to acquire the player for the Premier League just last year. The reason a Milan outlet such as this one is reporting on Tonali’s situation is that the Rossoneri incorporated a 10% sell-on clause when permitting the 24-year-old to relocate to Newcastle. Consequently, Milan may generate revenues exceeding €5 million should Tonali depart St James’ Park. It is unlikely that Sandro Tonali will be transferred. However, Newcastle is expected to reject any proposals for their player that exceed £41.5 million. Tonali’s transfer value may have decreased during his 10-month betting suspension; however, he continues to be a highly regarded and refined international player who has yet to reach his peak. The former Brescia star is regarded by Newcastle as a leader who can lead the team to the pinnacle of European and English football in the coming years. Newcastle supporters would be aggrieved by Tonali’s departure, which would also undermine the club’s executives’ credibility. Ultimately, how would they surpass the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Madrid, and Barcelona if they were to dispose of their most talented players? Naturally, Newcastle may contemplate a potential sale in response to an extraordinary offer; however, it is difficult to envision Madrid providing the substantial sum necessary to negotiate a deal for Tonali.
